This is a great all purpose tongs that you can do pretty much any kitchen job with. The length is just right to keep you away from the heat, but give you enough dexterity to control heavy things. The handles are all stainless which is easy to clean, and the nylon heads appear to be pretty durable as well. The one weird thing about these are the nylon heads are SUPER small. Like, half the size you would expect on a pair of tongs this size. It's not really a problem unless you are trying to scoop up a bunch of small things, but it's worth noting.
